Sharp, William. Literary geography, [*]$3.50. Scribner.
“A collection of papers dealing with characteristic features of the country, real or described, of a number of widely known writers. The numerous illustrations are very helpful to the text in giving the reader a clear picture of the lands made familiar to all readers of George Meredith, Stevenson, Dickens, Scott, George Eliot, Thackeray, Brontë, Aylwin, and Carlyle. There are also, descriptions of English lakes, the Thames, and the lake of Geneva. The articles have appeared in the Pall Mall magazine during the years of 1903 and 1904.”—Bookm.

“Of the topographical literature now so much in vogue, this book is one of the best examples. It is full of interesting matter, is well written, and the authors selected for the description (mostly novelists) are those about whom every one likes to know; the illustrations, often made from special photographs, are numerous and uncommonly beautiful.”

“Most entertaining book, not by any means exclusively devoted to geographical matters, straying, on the contrary, into many by-lanes of criticism, reminiscence, and biography. The book is one most book-lovers will be glad to have and to read.”
